Question 2: If the Ethiopian gov't is so scared as alleged in the post, why did they cancel the talks...doesn't sound to me like a scared person :cool:

I am completely ignorant of Ethiopian politics so bear with me and be patient. I have never understood the "O" part...how about all those others living in the Kililka who are not Owgarden or Speke's spelling Ugahden - how do you plan to mobilize them behind a clan name given the famous Somali pride of belonging? Nothing against the clan, they are my abtis...

The land is big enough for all clans living there ee la qeybsada . Wazigwa is their name, a good number went back and were given land and re-integrated into Tanzania. I made a very good friend from one of them!

This happens everywhere there are Bantu people, who happen to be the majority of Africans, from East and Central Africa, all the way to southern Africa.

Now compare with a "nomadic" dance like the Maasai of Kenya and Tanzania Nothing moves below the navel....

Niiko is considered ceeb by many Somalis because it is not in their culture, it is seen as inappropriate and sexually suggestive. But we can't force other Africans to agree with what Somalis consider to be "appropriate" can we? It looks like non-Somali muslim Bantus in East Africa have retained this culture despite centuries of Islamization, just check out this video from Zanzibar....
